Story
FBRN has appointed a new minister and they are available for you now! THATCHER is ready to serve his people! THATCHER came to FBRN after his owner passed away. He is used to the good life and holding court from the couch. He is a very well-rounded boy (no pun intended – 32 pounds) and loves to take long walks on the beach, snuggle up on the couch with a good book (or bone) or rough house with his mates. No matter what the situation, Thatcher is ready for a good time! The only time Thatcher isn’t so happy is when he is put in his crate when Foster dad leaves the house. When that happens, he is sure to state his case; but once his point is made, he seems satisfied to lay back and chill.
THATCHER is perfectly behaved in the house and has never had an accident inside. When he sees other dogs on his walks, however, he tends to be overzealous in his campaigning. This may be because he misses his former constituents from his old house. His attempts at interaction don’t seem to be malicious and he is known to work with his colleagues in the past.
THATCHER does have skin issues that need medical care. But with a special diet and monthly Cytopoint, he is basically symptom-free.
Here is what THATCHER’s Foster dad has to say about him, “he has been an absolute angel! After my friends met him, every single one of them tried to convince me to keep him because of how comfortable he made himself in my home and because of how sweet, goofy, and adorable he is. Finding him a home is bittersweet because if my life circumstances were different, I would probably choose to keep him. He will make his family very happy. He is a healthy, vibrant, affectionate little shadow who simply wants to be loved (and to love you right back!).”

FBRN does not ship dogs as cargo, so adopters are expected to pick up their dogs from their foster family.
FBRN dogs are in foster care in people’s private homes. For the foster families’ safety, we do not disclose specific locations, and we don’t set up meet and greets prior to applications. For detailed information about the dogs in our care, please read the extensive bios on each dog.
About Thatcher
